Dark Souls II Announced; Check Out Its First Trailer [Update]

Dark Souls II was announced at the Spike Video Game Awards this evening. Take a look at the game’s debut trailer below:

Dark Souls II’sofficial website lists PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as platforms. From Software and Namco Bandai appear to be collaborating on the title again. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more news.

Um, no. Just because they feature a trailer for a good game, does not legitimize that farce of an award show.

This is a pretty good trailer – I really dig the music in particular. It really does convey that sense of character weight and isolation that defines this franchise for so many. In particular, showing the guy just struggling to walk across the bridge was a great shot. Smart way of communicating the way that every single step is contested.

Found a working video for it! Watch it quickly before it gets removed! =^_^=

Awesome. Since it’s planned from the start, I hope the PC port will be better than Dark Souls’ was.

Oh god. PS3 or PC? I can’t decide.

I might go PC on this, so long as they don’t try and hobble the resolution. But I am a trophy whore too… Decisions, decisions.

Uber happy it’s PC from the start. I don’t even hate the PC port, at all. A few tweaks and the game looks and plays stellar. But being planned from the start means nobody has to beg for it, and maybe it’ll be even better.

Not really…The reason in the new title was due to the fact that Sony owns the Demon IP, so Miyazaki wanted to allow 360 users (initially) to get a similar experience while holding the Demon ‘franchise’ separate. Miyazaki himself said the Dark isn’t related to Demon, it’s only really a spiritual successor. Demon I would consider my favourite PS3 game and one of my all time favourite games, it’s a nice incentive that it is PS exclusive, but the game itself is better than Dark Souls IMO, and I would love to have a sequel to it instead.

I thought they where under the “Souls” franchise and not the first part of the name. Still stoked for this though.

Thank the heavens that Dark Souls II isn’t gonna be on the Wii U, because that controller is way too expensive to be thrown.

Syn

LOL, while I hope that wonyt be the case, I totally get what you mean

I’m very glad to see that they are developing the game for the PC from the get go. Now that From has gained some experience with PC development and are developing the PC and console version simultaneously, the PC version of Dark Souls 2 will hopefully not be as plagued with issues as the PC port of the original was.

Also, I hope the physical release of the PC version will be just as good as the European physical release of the original. If there’s one good thing I can say about the PC release of Dark Souls, it is that Namdai really understood what constitutes a proper physical release:
